Obsidian Security
Sr. Software Development Engineer in Test
Obsidian Security was founded in 2017 to solve the unaddressed blindspot of SaaS Security. SaaS applications provide the tools employees need to succeed and hold the business’ most critical information. If those tools become unavailable or that data is jeopardized, there is a detrimental impact on the organization.
Obsidian proudly offers the industry's most comprehensive and powerful SaaS defense solution. We are committed to solving the challenge of SaaS Security for our customers as efficiently and effectively as possible.
We’re a passionate team optimizing for impact by solving some of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today. We listen closely to our customers, iterate quickly, and (over) deliver to delight them. Working at Obsidian means contributing to an industry-leading cybersecurity product in an environment where customer satisfaction, privacy, and data ethics are paramount.
Obsidian Security delivers cloud detection and response for the enterprise. The company’s leadership team includes innovators from Amazon, Carbon Black, Cylance, Demisto, Dome9, NYU, Google, F5, Juniper, Splunk and VMware where they have delivered enterprise-grade products to thousands of customers. We are based in Newport Beach, CA and are backed by Greylock Partners, Wing, and GV.
Obsidian Security is building a SaaS solution that uses data science and deep expertise in security to revolutionize how organizations combat cyber threats across hybrid-cloud environments. As Obsidian’s Senior SDET, you will have the unique opportunity to help define our testing strategy and build our infrastructure and processes from the ground up. To succeed in this role, you will need to have several years relevant experience and the battle scars to prove it. You’ll need to be a developer first and foremost, and be a tireless and passionate advocate for automated testing infrastructure. You must be willing to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.
